(theshsllibrarian) Vincent stared at the tiger hybrid cautiously from his spot outside the guest room. The ten year old had heard his aunt and uncle talking about taking in a hybrid they had found on the side of the road. "Hello?" He quietly said to the other ten year old.

Kagami didn't know where he was, and quite frankly, he was feeling panicky about it. The last time he was aware, he was struggling to trek his way down a long stretch of sideroad wearing pants and a hoodie with the hood up despite the intense heat, and now here he is in shorts and no hoodie in sight. His ears and tail were on display. Which means whoever has him now knows about them! He doesn’t want to go back there, he doesn’t! He doesn't want to be a pet either, the horror stories he's heard-- He needs to leave. He needs to leave right no--

He freezes in his attempt to open the window he wasn't even fully aware he had approached in his panic, spinning around towards where the voice came from with his back against the still closed window and face set in a scowl with teeth bared. He gets the feeling his attempt at trying to look threatening enough to be left alone fell short what with his panicked breathing and the fact he's pretty sure he's shaking, but he continues with it anyway.

"Who are you, what do you people want?!"

They must want something, right? Why else would they be keeping him here? If whoever took me thinks sending another kid to talk to me would make me lower my guard, they're dead wrong, was his thoughts on the matter.

[brxnd-new-dxy]

Kagami couldn't help but peer over at what he was texting a bit suspiciously. He may have decided to give the other kid a tentative chance, but that didn't get rid of the fact that he's really suspicious about this whole situation, or that he's waiting for the other shoe to eventually drop. When he saw that the kid really was just texting his uncle to put off them meeting for a bit longer, he relaxed just a little more. He blinked at the offer to rest, staring between Vincent and the blankets for a moment.

"Maybe... Just for a li'l bit?" he sounded unsure, hesitantly moving to hold a hand out for a blanket as if thinking it might be a trick. Which he wouldn't be surprised if it was, honestly. It's happened before where past owners would trick him into showing he wanted something, only to laugh and take it away.

[brxnd-new-dxy]

"Ummm Kagami you know I like hanging out with you and all but....." Atticus nervously looked at the ground. "Would....would you be willing to maybe.....go on a date with me" he asked slowly looking up blushing a bit.

@ghostprince-rule

Kagami was worried at hearing that first part, wondering if maybe he did something wrong and Atticus was about to tell him wasn’t going to hang out with him anymore. What was it that I did—? So he was understandably relieved once Atticus continued and that turned out not to be the case. And then his brain caught up with what exactly was said to him. And by the time Atticus was looking at him once again, his own cheeks were a rosy red.

“I—… You want to go on a date with me??”

[brxnd-new-dxy]

“Good!” He huffed, giving the other’s hand a brief squeeze in a way he hoped was reassuring.

Honestly. All that matters is Atticus liking his own self, fuck anyone else's opinions. The smaller male has the right to be himself and do what he wants. If no one's getting hurt, then Kagami really sees no problem with whatever Atticus might decide to do down the line, whether that's something like wanting to change up his looks somehow or loosening his control over things about himself that he might've thought Kagami would find weird or freaky or something, etcetera.

"TV and snacks at my place? Sounds like a good plan, if that's what you really wanna do!" With that said, he was quick to start leading the short distance back to his apartment. He's kinda glad he did some cleaning recently. Not that he ever lets his apartment get overly messy, but the occasional sweeping, mopping, dusting and straightening some things out is good, he thinks.

Once they reach his front door, he gives their clasped hands one last squeeze before letting go to dig his keys out and open the door, allowing the other male to wander in behind him. "You can look around if you want, there isn't much but it's home. Feel free to make yourself comfy." The apartment is actually pretty big, he just doesn't have much in the way of decorations for the place.

[brxnd-new-dxy]

(Huzzah, my hands finally be the healed for the most part! Now that my hands aren't attempting to kill me whenever I so much as try to do absolutely anything with 'em, anyone have threads they wanna continue? 'Cause I've apparently been gone long enough for tumblr to decide it isn't gonna show activity beyond a certain point lol. Ngl, the handful of threads I just posted were the only one's showing-- so if there's ones you wanna continue, send me links to 'em in my IMs!)

[theshsllibrarian]

Feeling Kagami tense up a little Vincent was prepared to pull back his hand. However when the hybrid didn't move to remove himself from the situation the brunette took it as a sign of trust. At least a tentative trust.

Smiling widely with gapped tooth smile he nodded. "I understand. They can be a bit...energetic but they mean well." Vincent said pausing as the sound of a downpour starting could be heard outside. "So do you want to go meet them or would you rather stay here for a bit? I can text Uncle and have him bring some food for you. Would you rather I leave?" He asked starting into a ramble of questions.

[brxnd-new-dxy]

Kagami blinked owlishly at the wide smile aimed at him and the multiple questions that followed it.

Did he... Want to go meet them? Thinking about it, if he was really being given an option, he feels he'd rather not. Enough has already happened, just dealing with one new person had him feeling fairly overwhelmed and that was enough for him at the moment, and he was feeling really tired now that he has calmed down a bit from his near panic attack. He told Vincent as much.

"Maybe later... You don't gotta leave, though." he decides eventually.

Tiger Twins

“Do you have practice today? I was thinking maybe we could actually walk home today since there’s no track and field today.” asked Tora, the younger of the Kagami twins by one minute. 

 Tora wouldn’t be surprised if Taiga nii-san had practice today as well. It seemed like Seirin’s basketball team or Japanese high school basketball teams in general never had any days off! At least back in America, weekends were guaranteed but in Japan it seemed like weekends were off the table for those in sports clubs. Track and field had practice too but at least Seirin’s track and field team had more days off than the basketball team did! The only times he saw his older twin nowadays was when they had breakfast, and headed to school… Sometimes they  would eat lunch together. Maybe he could walk home with his cute girl classmate, Saya Otonashi, on Seirin’s track and field girls’ team instead if his brother wasn’t available… Plus, according to his teammates, she was on Track and Field Monthly and known for her impressive high jump! He would be lying if he said he didn’t want to get to know her better…

“I know you love Maji Burger but if you have practice, save some room for dinner, ok? I’ll cook.”

[ @brxnd-new-dxy​ for Taiga Kagami! ]

[brxnd-new-dxy]

Taiga's expression formed a small frown of his own at Tora's response to his apology as he did as his twin asked, carrying the rice over to the table before pausing to think about his words. Sure, it really couldn't be helped at this point in time, true. But if he was being completely honest, he personally didn't think it was all that fine. Glancing over at his brother for a moment when he thought he wasn't looking, expression turning a bit guilty as he did, he couldn't help but think he should've spoke to Riko long before this. But instead, he got so caught up in basketball, he hadn't been putting much thought into anything beyond what he had to do to get better and chase his goals. Not even towards his little brother. Did that make him a shitty brother? He somehow got the feeling the answer to that was a resounding yes. It's not like this was the first time something like this happened, after all-- granted the last time was a lot more extreme, him running away from home and all, but still. That doesn't make him feel any better about the current situation.

Shaking his head slightly, he went back to help with anything else Tora needed moved to the table. He can wallow in his guilt at a later time. For now, he was gonna enjoy time with his twin for the first time in a fairly long time, and he'll be sure to let Tora know about him having spoken to Riko-- though he feels like being allowed to skip just a single practice might not be enough... It's a start, though, right?

Taiga grinned at Tora's comment about needing a dining table. "Great minds think alike. I was just thinking the same thing a moment ago." he admitted, looking over their current table as well. "Maybe that could be the next thing we invest in? I don't think there's anything overly pricy we gotta get or pay for at the moment."

Let Me Teach You Some Manners

It was one of Yukio’s occasional days off and on the weekend to boot. He did some studying then decided to head out to Tokyo to do some shopping but first, he had to get some lunch. He decided to stop at Maji Burger. It was the closest restaurant around from where the commuter transit dropped him off at according to Google Maps on his cellphone. 

Yukio had already ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a Cola for himself, situated at a booth, and had taken one bite out of his burger when a massive figure in his field of vision made him furrow his brows and make the sound “Ugh!” 

Yukio didn’t expect to see the redhead here. It was the ace of Seirin’s basketball team, Taiga Kagami. They had crossed paths a few times after the initial practice match. First was when he and Kise were trying to buy some new shoes only for Kise to keep on chasing Kuroko and the other time was when they watched Seirin vs. Shuutoku and they encountered Kagami, Kuroko, Midorima, and Takao at that okonomiyaki restaurant. He wasn’t sure what to make of Kagami’s manners. First, he addressed him as “Sir” in the mall but call him Kasamatsu the next time they meet?

As the redhead began passing by, Yukio spoke up 

“Oi, even if you lived in America for a while and I’m not exactly your senpai since we don’t go to the same school but you’re living in Japan and I’m still older than you, so you have to address me accordingly. It’s Kasamatsu-san to you, not Kasamatsu, got it?”

[ @brxnd-new-dxy​ for Taiga Kagami! ]

[brxnd-new-dxy]

Well. He certainly wasn't wrong about getting an extra reprimand for his tone of voice. Can't say he was all that surprised considering how this whole interaction has been going so far, though. With all this in mind, he deemed it in his best interest to not mumble grumpily under his breath about the whole lecture thing being thrown at him again, and merely leave that part of the conversation at that. He can be smart sometimes, thank you very much!

Mulling over Kasamatsu's response, he gets that. He does! He's just... Very aware of how he, himself, can be sometimes-- fairly hot-headed and stubborn, yeah? It's hard to look passed his frustrations sometimes, and he tells Kasamatsu that straight up. "... But I've been trying my best to work on it, I swear." He'd like to think he's at least doing better with it now than he was when first starting out in Seirin... Hopefully.

Kagami huffs as he slumps back in his seat, hands in his pockets as he watches other people bustling about in the rest of place. "Still feel like I owe that yellow-haired mimicker a kick in the ass for all that trouble." he grumbles, though with no real heat to the words. Sure, he could've done without the anxiety. And yeah, the whole tissue selling that resulted from the whole fiasco was a pain in the ass, even more so when you consider he had to help Kuroko with his tissues as well due to his lack of presence. But beyond that, the day had been pretty interesting, all things considered in his opinion. Still beat staying at home, if he was being honest. "Yeah, hopefully we have better luck today. One can only hope." he agreed.

He stood up as he saw the older male finish off the remainder of his food, waving off the thanks given to him with a reassurance that it really was no problem for him. It wasn't like he was in a hurry anywhere or had any strict plans, so he didn't mind. Once everything was cleared up, and they were all set to go, he gestured for Kasamatsu to lead the way out. Boy, was he tempted to jokingly imply the other was old by say something along the lines of--

"Age before beauty?"

Aaaand after a moment, he has given into the temptation.

Let’s Get to Know One Another

A practice match between Mugen Academy and Seirin High had been arranged and on behalf of the quirky coach of Mugen Academy’s boys’ basketball team, Saya was going to Seirin High to confirm the logistics of the appointed practice match as the manager of the boys’ basketball team. The practice match was going to be held at Mugen Academy since their school had a much bigger gymnasium and it would be done at 4:30 PM, enough time for the members of Seirin High to get over to Mugen Academy since both schools were in Tokyo.

Masaru Kato, the shooting guard of her team, was worried about her visiting Seirin High alone and so he offered to accompany her. The moment the two of them entered the school grounds, their school uniforms grabbed a bit of attention since anyone who knew Mugen Academy, knew that celebrities and multi-talented people attended their school. Anyone who was into track and field would’ve recognized Saya from her middle school track and field days before she started playing basketball. Although perhaps the glances their direction was due to the fact Masaru had an uncanny resemblance to his cousin, Shintarō Midorima! If it wasn’t for the fact Masaru was 12.7 centimeters shorter and had black hair and dark brown eyes, they’d probably be twins!

The two of them exited the office after receiving visitors’ passes and directions to the gymnasium.

“Thanks again for coming with me Masa, you didn’t have to.”

“Oh, it’s fine. I wouldn’t want anything to happen to our manager after all. Besides, if Seirin doesn’t meet me now, they’ll mistake me for my cousin later on. It’s better to clear up the confusion soon.”

Saya giggled as they continued on their way. There was a tall male with red and dark brown hair. She would admit that out of all the male basketball players she’s analyzed, she has her eyes on Kagami’s skills! Masaru on the other hand, wanted to meet the one who gave his cousin a run for his money!

Masaru remarked “Allette-chan should’ve came with us. She’s really interested in strong basketball players.”

It seemed Kasamatsu Yukio, Kagami, and the Generation of Miracles caught Allette’s attention the most.

Saya said “Well, thankfully we’ll be holding the practice match at our school so she can meet him then.” She raised a hand to get Kagami’s attention. “Hello there!”

[ @brxnd-new-dxy ]

[brxnd-new-dxy]

Kagami scratched at the back of his head; bag slung over his shoulder as he made his way towards the direction of the gym. The other students sure seemed to be excitedly chattering with their friend groups about something. Or well, more excited than usual, he should say. It wasn't until he heard a 'hello there!' shouted in his direction that he glanced back and realized what might be the cause of that.

He had to do a double take at the guy accompanying the girl who called out to him. The very uncanny resemblance he sported to a certain green-haired person from Shūtoku was throwing him for a bit of a loop, though there was a few differences that made it clear it was a different person. Doppelganger? Or maybe a relative, actually, that probably makes more sense-- He couldn't help tilting his head slightly in curiosity for a moment as he thought, before shifting his attention back to the girl.

"Hey, uh... Can I help you with something?"

[legendreign-archived]

Can I Shake Your Hand?

Allette was friends with the manager of Mugen Academy's boys' basketball team, Saya Otonashi, as she was also her fellow ace on the girls' team and so she had found out from Saya that Mugen Academy was planning a practice match with Team Seirin since Coach Seiji Kubo was always looking for the diamond in the rough which made Team Seirin look like the perfect practice candidate for Coach Kubo.

Allette would surely be around to watch the practice match but she wanted to at least talk to Kagami Taiga a bit and hold his hand. Taiga Kagami's existence was like that of the Generation of Miracles despite not being one of them much like how she can tell that Saya herself was like the Princesses of Basketball, despite not being one. She had this strange belief that if she held hands with each of the Generation of Miracles (excluding Seijūrō Akashi because she tried looking into him but did not trust him), Kagami Taiga, and Kasamatsu Yukio and memorized the feel of their hands and their warmth, it would give her the strength she needed to lead her team to victory as the most intelligent point guard.

The practice match was a close call by one point but Team Seirin won against the multi-talented sorcerers of Mugen Academy's boys' basketball team since Kagami was the better jumper compared to Kujaku Mori, the ace of the team, even with Masaru Kato, the almost look-alike cousin of Shintarō Midorima, supporting him in giving the team a lead with his shots. However, even though Allette was impressed with what she saw, she was too afraid to go up to Kagami Taiga.

Saya had to push her towards him and when she stopped in front of the ace, she said

"Hey Kagami, this is my friend, Shiratori Allette. She's my fellow ace and the point guard for the girls' team. She's kind of like the Generation of Miracles but a girl version. You can say she's kind of your fan."

Allette pouted at being called Kagami’s fan. Saya added "Do you mind talking to her a bit?"

[ @brxnd-new-dxy ]

[brxnd-new-dxy]

Kagami was absolutely hyped after that practice match. Matches like that, where it's such a close call and everyone's going all out to do their best to win, is the best kind of match after all! Well, in his opinion, anyway. Nothing like a good match to get your blood pumping!

It was as the adrenaline was wearing down, and the teams were heading off to get cleaned up a bit, that he heard the other two approaching him and turned around as Saya spoke up. He blinked, giving Allette a curious once over before looking back at Saya. A fan, huh? This was a new experience, he can't say he's ever had anyone approach him as a fan like this before. Somethin' about people finding him intimidating or somethin' like that, at least according to Kuroko. Which he guesses he understands, with the way he looks.

"Oh, uh... Sure?" glancing over at Allette once again, "What did you wanna talk about?"

[brxnd-new-dxy]

What color character are you?

Zoro

Green Character (Can you say ironic? lmao)

Green characters are often hotheaded and brash, unafraid to speak their mind. They make for excellent leaders and teachers, and tend to be most devoted to a specific field, which they do well in. They have a lot of confidence in themselves. and although they can't always see themselves positively, they are good about respecting themselves. They have a lot of common sense but are equally likely to strategically plan something out as they are to rush in on an impulse. They often have to work hard to get others to respect them, and sometimes receive less of it when people find out who they are. Still, they are not afraid to make others uncomfortable by being themselves and are unlikely to waver when someone wants them to change against their will. They can be brash and loud, but also very quiet and secretive. Their humor can be a bit rude, and they don't always display friendship and affection to the people they care about in the most conventional ways. However, they're quite easygoing, witty, and fun-loving people. They don't like when people are flighty and prefer to work with people who don't quit and stand their ground. They stand out from others, both because of the way they approach the world, and because of how skilled they tend to be at what they do. Some people may not suspect that they are harmonious because of their blunt nature, but they are surprisingly good and reasonable diplomats, and can employ a lot of meaningful tact when the situation calls for it. They feel a sense of distance or abandonment from their parental figures, as they often become emotionally or physically absent sometime in their life. Green characters hate being told what to do and put into a box and are likely to challenge authority. They can be hard to work with at times due to their stubbornness, but they bring a lot to the table and tend to round out their friend groups. They need people in their lives who respect them, care about them, and listen to them, as well as offer them companionship without requiring them to conform to a certain preset standard.

Sena

Pink Character

Pink characters are generally sweet and nice people who care about their friends deeply. They don't often choose to be a part of the action, but instead get swept up in it almost against their will. They often aren't fully equipped for the situations that are thrown at them and can have a lot of feelings of inadequacy as a result. They don't tend to be fighters, often preferring learning and discovery to anything else. They will go along with risky plans in order to help their group of friends or organization that they're close to, but they're generally terrified of whatever they're doing. They are lighthearted and have good sense of humor, fun to banter with but find it hard to be genuinely mean to others. They are pretty emotional and sensitive, which turns out to be one of their greatest strengths. They have a lot of emotional maturity and are good at recognizing others' needs. They are one of the voices of reason amongst a group of often impulsive people, which manifests itself in ways that others might dismiss as paranoia. (It is in some ways, but their fear of what might go wrong is also crucial step to making the planning process so sound.) Even around people who care about them, they can tend to be the butt of the joke, and don't have healthy boundaries to stop it. As they grow, they don't necessarily become less fearful, but they do have a stronger sense of courage to get through their fears. They are compassionate friends and often do small things to show that they are thinking of the people that are around them. They are dependable and trustworthy and a good ally to have. Pink characters need people around them who won't mock them for being sensitive or having fears but will validate their feelings and encourage them to overcome their doubts about themselves. They need their boundaries to be encouraged and respected, and for others not to pressure them into doing something they're said no to.

Which Crystal Are You?

Zoro

Black Tourmaline

You have strength to you that has been hard earned. You don’t hesitate to cut out the parts of you you despise, you’re unafraid to call out others. Your bluntness can off-put people at times, but you’re unwilling to compromise your personal code. Once your loyalty has been earned, it is not easily shaken. You’re a protector and you purge away anything you believe could harm you or those you love. When was the last time you relaxed, though? When was the last time you let down your guard? There is just as much strength in vulnerability.

Sena

Amethyst

You have an energetic and passionate nature. You want to taste everything the world has to offer. Sometimes you seem aimless, eager and distracted. But when you apply yourself, you excel. You’re known to your friends as someone they can depend on to brighten the mood. You have a way of breaking the tension and helping others deal with stress. However, when have you last let yourself sit with your negative emotions? When was the last time you slowed down and let your thoughts catch up to you? You can’t run forever.

[ @brxnd-new-dxy​ for Taiga Kagami! ]

[brxnd-new-dxy]

"Oi! I ain't harping--!" he exclaimed with a scowl, before pausing a moment at his own tone and eyeing Kasamatsu as if expecting to be reprimanded for that as well, before continuing a slight bit calmer, "I was just answering your question, y'know. You asked, and I answered!"

His scowl eased up into just a frown as he nibbled a bit more from a remaining burger, having made quick work of the pile he had bought, thinking over the boss question regardless. ".... If I were to mess something up bad enough at my supposed job for the big boss themselves to be lecturing me... Pretty sure I'd be feeling more frustrated with myself, and probably a crap ton of anxiety, than anything else." he mumbled after a moment of nibbling at his remaining food.

Kagami couldn't help but feel a bit envious as he listened to the older male talk about his own dad, but he did his best to keep it from showing. While it sounds like Kasamatsu also grew up with a very busy dad who was often away at work, his dad seemed to at least make it a point to come home every night. Kasamatsu didn't seem to have many issues with his dad as he himself did, so maybe he was decent enough despite always working?

Brief flashes of memories came to his mind. Of the nanny who knew very little Japanese that was hired to take care of him in America. Of the sometimes-long stretches of just him and the nanny at home because his dad had to work, and of some times where his dad was home but there still wasn't much interaction between them. The many times where he'd run away from home with Himuro for a couple days at a time before they were found out, because in his mind, that was better than the coldness and silence of the house when he was old enough to be trusted to be home alone. Even now, when was the last time he's heard from his dad (besides the scheduled amount of money to take care of himself), let alone seen him since arriving back in Japan? Maybe things would've been better if there had been another family member to keep his company. A sibling of his own or something?

He had to bite the inside of his cheek. He doesn't know why it still bothers him. Shouldn't he be over it by now?

Finishing the last of his burgers, he got up to throw away his trash before coming back to sit and wait for Kasamatsu, scowling at the reminder of that mall fiasco, though he was happy enough to let it distract him from the family talk.

"We could've all been happy and avoided being stuck handing out tissues, had he not decided to go and freak me out like that...", (never mind the fact he was the one who had jumped to conclusions, shhh), "...and then freakin' give chase after us!!" He's still a little salty over all that, himself, to tell the truth. "Hopefully we'll get lucky with the basketball shoes today."

Tiger Twins

“Do you have practice today? I was thinking maybe we could actually walk home today since there’s no track and field today.” asked Tora, the younger of the Kagami twins by one minute. 

 Tora wouldn’t be surprised if Taiga nii-san had practice today as well. It seemed like Seirin’s basketball team or Japanese high school basketball teams in general never had any days off! At least back in America, weekends were guaranteed but in Japan it seemed like weekends were off the table for those in sports clubs. Track and field had practice too but at least Seirin’s track and field team had more days off than the basketball team did! The only times he saw his older twin nowadays was when they had breakfast, and headed to school… Sometimes they  would eat lunch together. Maybe he could walk home with his cute girl classmate, Saya Otonashi, on Seirin’s track and field girls’ team instead if his brother wasn’t available… Plus, according to his teammates, she was on Track and Field Monthly and known for her impressive high jump! He would be lying if he said he didn’t want to get to know her better…

“I know you love Maji Burger but if you have practice, save some room for dinner, ok? I’ll cook.”

Kagami wasted no time opening the door to their apartment, calling out a quick "tadaima!" as he closed the door behind himself. He slipped off his shoes and left them near the door as he quickly headed towards his room to drop off his school and basketball stuff off. The smell of food that filled their apartment had his mouth watering and his stomach growling; he was so ready to eat. As much as he isn't a fan of the fact, eating a homecooked meal together wasn't a very common occurrence nowadays. And eating Tora's cooking has always been the best, in his opinion!

With everything set down in his room and himself changed into comfy clean shorts and a t-shirt, he then made his way into the kitchen. "Sorry I wasn't home to help with the actual cooking." he apologized, and then offered to help with anything else that needed to still be set up on the living room table.

It was as he was doing this that he thought maybe they could do with a bigger table, unaware of Tora's exact same thoughts on the matter. It may just be the two of them living here and they may not have visitors over for meals just yet, but with the way the two of them eat, they could easily make use of all the space available with an actual dining table! Unaware of his younger brother's line of thought, he was also thinking the back and forth for more food was inconvenient.

(theshsllibrarian) Vincent stared at the tiger hybrid cautiously from his spot outside the guest room. The ten year old had heard his aunt and uncle talking about taking in a hybrid they had found on the side of the road. "Hello?" He quietly said to the other ten year old.

Kagami didn't know where he was, and quite frankly, he was feeling panicky about it. The last time he was aware, he was struggling to trek his way down a long stretch of sideroad wearing pants and a hoodie with the hood up despite the intense heat, and now here he is in shorts and no hoodie in sight. His ears and tail were on display. Which means whoever has him now knows about them! He doesn’t want to go back there, he doesn’t! He doesn't want to be a pet either, the horror stories he's heard-- He needs to leave. He needs to leave right no--

He freezes in his attempt to open the window he wasn't even fully aware he had approached in his panic, spinning around towards where the voice came from with his back against the still closed window and face set in a scowl with teeth bared. He gets the feeling his attempt at trying to look threatening enough to be left alone fell short what with his panicked breathing and the fact he's pretty sure he's shaking, but he continues with it anyway.

"Who are you, what do you people want?!"

They must want something, right? Why else would they be keeping him here? If whoever took me thinks sending another kid to talk to me would make me lower my guard, they're dead wrong, was his thoughts on the matter.

Kagami blinked. He had been trying not to show his apprehension of this whole situation and the directions he mind went in in its rushing thoughts on how the other boy could've gotten such bad looking scars like that. Apparently, he hadn't hidden it well enough. Tensing slightly at the hand on top of his own, though making no move to remove it, he listened with a look in his eyes that said he didn't quite believe what he was being told. He couldn't help that, though, with how his life has been like up until now. He really seemed too good to be true.

"They'll have to prove it themselves!" he insisted with a scowl, unaware of the fact he left Vincent out of it, as if Vincent had already kind of proved it to the tiger hybrid that he wasn't gonna hurt him. At least for now, anyway...
